I have built a prototype to see how things would go,I havnt added forced air yet but got a reasonable heat with an old propane nozzel but it tended to blow the chips about. the other problem was the AO2 chips shattered when cold hit them,they dont like thermal shock. I was in Belgem last week and had a look at the real one,it has forced air but ring type burners that seem to give a softer heat and much hotter so back to the shed for Mk 2.

[i work in a place that makes ceramics, the one use for forges is AO aluminium oxide, the thing I am most inerested in is the burners, they have a ring type that has forced air, my challenge is to design this type.

I saw one about 15 years ago at Forge in but never got time to use it,By chance I was looking for DVDs and saw Angele make them. I like the idea because like a coal forge you can heat a small section and odd shape that wont fit in the gas furnace. I would just like to know how they perform.

Has anyone used one of Angele gas forges that use ceramic chips?,Iam interested to find out how good they are before I build one. Cheers Pete.

can anyone help Me, some years ago I bought a silver clutch pencil but now the replacement leads are not available in NZ,does anyone know where to get them as they are realy good on hot steel. Cheers Pete.

hi i built a recperative gas forge from ABANA plans some years ago, I can get a good heat but not enough for welding, is it possible to weld with a gas forge. Irun LPG as propane is not available in NZ. :rolleyes:

Hi Guys I am new to this forum but I have just ordered an Anyang 25kg hammer, the help that James Johnson has given me is tremendous.I would recomend him as dealer to anyone, Thanks James and Glen Moon.
